Eat yourself well


One of my worst times as a mom was six years ago when my away-at-college son started experiencing mysterious health problems. Because Sam’s symptoms (nausea, fatigue, brain fog) increased so gradually, I fi gured it


What inspires me


Our recipe tester, Adrienne Lee, reworked the


Cornmeal Biscuits


(page 40) seven times to get them just right. That’s dedication.

was simply stress or recurrent fl u. But eventually, he became so ill that we knew something must be systemically wrong. Given that he had never shown any signs of food intolerance


while growing up—this is a kid whose favorite food to this day is mac ’n’ cheese—it never occurred to me that his body might be reacting to something in his diet. But after numerous tests all came up negative, I said, “T at’s it: We’re going to a nutritionist.” Long story short: Within three days of giving up gluten (and, at fi rst, dairy), he started feeling good again for the fi rst time in 18 months. He’s been strictly gluten free ever since. You’d think the answer would have dawned on me sooner.


But back then I didn’t know that food sensitivities can stay latent for years, developing over time and fi nally surfacing (triggered, some experts believe, by stress or trauma). T at’s why I’m particularly grateful for this month’s feature story, “Stop Feeling Sick!” Starting on page 30, you’ll learn how to work with a health provider to identify and manage possible dietary causes of unexplained maladies, whether low-grade or severe. Your natural products retailer may be able to recommend practitioners in your area, as well as suggest suitable foods for your needs. If you’ve got a similar story (or one that’s just getting


started), we’d love to hear about it on Facebook—our shared experiences could truly help others with comparable struggles.

Elisa’s product pick


Derma E Evenly Radiant Day Crème SPF 15 I’m decidedly lazy about skin care, so I’m devoted to this new face cream. One paraben- and phthalate-free application moisturizes, brightens my skin with Madonna lily, and provides sun protection.
